paddyhaig Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I believe it's time to give up on my prior authentication script and start from scratch, I believe it's far too broken to be fixed. What I need is a tiered access level authentication method. That allows certain privileges to some and not others. I need administrative, managerial and staff levels. What is the most secure method that I should be researching? Is it cookie based and if so, how should I hash the cookie? And is the anyone out there that can help me implement this?

gizmola Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 One suggestion would be to build upon http://phpgacl.sourceforge.net/ for your security checks. Most people use php sessions. There are many libraries that can help. I'd suggest you might take a look at the Zend Framework for a start: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.session.html Using it will hide a lot of the complexity and allow you to focus on integrating that code into your application.
